Eminem

I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you're always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch.

Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.

My thing is this; if I'm sick enough to think it, then I'm sick enough to say it.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn't recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober.

Love is just a word, but you bring it definition.

Honestly, I never really put the mic down.

Hip-hop saved my life, man. It's the only thing I've ever been even decent at. I don't know how to do anything else.

I don't like to give the sob story: growing up in a single-parent home, never knew my father, my mother never worked, and when friends came over I'd hide the welfare cheese. Yo, I failed ninth grade three times, but I don't think it was necessarily 'cause I'm stupid. I didn't go to school. I couldn't deal.

Have you ever been hated, or discriminated against_x000D_ I have, I’ve been protested and demonstrated against.

I grew up on Hip Hop, it's the music I love and it's the music I respect. I respect the culture...that's me.

I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand. We'll walk this road together, through the storm. Whatever weather, cold or warm. Just let you know that, you're not alone. Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road.

Rap will never be the same as before

Lose yourself in the music, the moment - you own it.

The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

I get offended when people say, 'So, being a white rapper...and growing up white...after being born white...' It's all I ever hear!

Imma be what I set out to be without a doubt undoubtedly.

Seize the moment and dont squander it. Cause you never know when it all could be over.
